“One of the things that I'm fully aware of is that the people that came before me in this position... they've done that work, the really good, deep, groundwork of letting us know that poetry is there... What I would love to do is celebrate poetry's power. I’m hoping that in my tenure I’m able to create some sort of public project that would bring poetry into public spaces and allow us to have unexpected experiences with poetry… I’m hoping that I can really address the youthfulness of poetry. That poetry can be a tool to help us heal.”- Ada Limón
